UDK Units version 2


  • Max Height Jump = 52 udku
  • Max Double Height Jump = 89 udku
  • Max Distance Jump = 322 udku
  • Max Double Distance Jump = 499 udku

The actual udku conversions to real world measurements are not exact and do differ over different games.


  • Unreal Tournament games :  1 udku = 2 cm.
  • Gears of War : 2 udku = 1 inch.
  • Most licensees use a scale of 1 Unreal Unit to 1 cm.



The important thing is that unit conversions between development engines 
UDK 3DS and Maya are 1 for 1.

So for most cases :       1 udku  =  1 3dsu  =  1 mayau  =  2 cm.


The overriding premise though is that what ever unit calculation you choose to use you must be consistent and all objects within the space must be relative to your chosen unit calculation.

 I have some further reading links.

And a link to a unit converter that converts real world measurements into standard UDK units.
